Greetings Brady

  I am giving you a heads up on this. Two of the major support people for
native support in seattle, they were M-Ls, have moved out of seattle. That
leaves a void and that is something that anarchists could step into without
having to work with some of the people they don't like to work with. You in
the past wrote that anarchist should actively support native struggles and
here is the opportunity to do so with doors that I have been able to open.

  Leonard Peltier's case has gained importance because of the renewed
political harassment by the FBI of activists from different struggles.
Placing Leonard's case out in public view in support of revealing the truth
about what happened to Leonard and in support of Leonard's lawyers struggle
to gain all government documents on Leonard's case which thousands of pages
are being withheld for the reason of "national security", will help place
the dangers of having the FBI act as a national political police force in
the minds of the public.
  Also, our work has created a tradition of a voice for Native people in the
northwest to be able to speak out on issues that often remain invisible in
our region. Information on our next event is below. We ask for your help.
  Our organizing is purely grassroots, and the help we ask for is in you
organizing support within your personal activist network. Ever person has a
personal activist network, that being those that you work with and know,
Also, we ask that you please help us by getting our fliers and posters out
and by forwarding our statements to e-mail lists, to web sites and to people
you know.
  Seattle has a long history of having a Seattle Leonard Peltier Support
Group, the first such group was organized not long after Leonard was
arrested in Canada. The person who was the contact for Leonard's support in
the Seattle area has moved to L.A. So now the Seattle support for Leonard
must be reorganized. There will be a meeting to do this on Nov. 27th, from 2
pm to 4 pm at the Capitol Hill Branch of the Seattle Library, Harvard and
Republican Ave.
  We will again be able to get the large church for after the rally for a
meal and get together where activists from through out the northwest will
have time to meet each other.
  If you can at all help in any way with this effort please contact me.
Thank you
